With no movie theatre in sight, Creekside Theatre and the Lake Country Film Committee saw an opportunity.
Every second Tuesday night is movie night, but these aren香蕉视频直播檛 only big Hollywood movies being played, the bill is made up of documentaries and small screen films with a few main stream movies sprinkled in.
The affordable family-friendly events are the brain child of Rebecca Leboe and her father, Rob Guenette who founded the film committee late last year.
香蕉视频直播淲e want to accent our non-mainstream movies with the main stream,香蕉视频直播� said Leboe 香蕉视频直播淲e want to bring people out to see things they wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 naturally see in movie theatres and expose them to new ideas.香蕉视频直播�
Leboe says that the feedback has been outstanding and credits the public香蕉视频直播檚 interest to Netflix.

He says the next step for the theatre will be better lighting within the next three years and then hopes to install surround sound in the next five years.
